<p>Top left and middle, Picanha: All the rage in Brazil and beyond. From the cap of the rump, it comes with a thick layer of fat for flavour and can be cooked as a mini joint (left). </p>
<p>Top right, bistro rump: From the tenderest muscle in the rump but also high in flavour. Cheaper than sirloin yet lean enough to pass for fillet.</p>
<p>Bottom right, Sirloin: Pricey, tender and juicy but this classic cut is facing competition from more flavoursome rivals.</p>
<p>Bottom left, Flat iron: American-inspired cut of choice for the new breed of cool steakhouse. Popular in supermarkets, too, for keen price and rich flavour.</p>

Matt Jarvis poses on the cover of ‘Attitude’ magazine

After Matt Jarvis rallies against homophobia, here are five other footballers who've got involved politically

Here we select five other pros who have used their profile to political effect.
